How Do You Stop Binge Eating During PMS?
Premenstrual Syndrome (PMS) can cause uncomfortable symptoms in women, usually beginning a week or two before the start of their menstrual cycle. During this time, you may experience headaches, breast tenderness, upset stomach, backache, binge eating and mood swings. Over-the-counter medicine can help alleviate some of these symptoms. Others, such as binge eating, must be combated with self-control and patience. Eat a well-balanced breakfast. A healthy breakfast should include: protein, grain, fruit and dairy. For example, scrambled eggs, turkey bacon, whole grain toast and orange juice would be a healthy breakfast option. Eating a full breakfast will help you start the day off right and decrease your chances of binge eating throughout the day. Eat in small amounts throughout the day. A protein bar, a smoothie, veggies and dip or apple slices are nutritious snack choices. Smaller meals throughout the day will keep your stomach full and keep your metabolism running at a healthy rate. Co
